Pulumi has introduced a range of new features and updates across its ecosystem, enhancing support for cloud providers, Pulumi CLI, and core technologies. The EKS Pulumi Package now includes additional options for managed node groups following improvements from AWS, while the Azure Native provider has added new resources related to networking and IoT security. Pulumi has also updated its methods for Component Packages, allowing components' methods to be available in all languages, and improved the functionality of the dependsOn option to consistently wait on component dependencies, supporting more complex workflows like Kubernetes and Helm. Moreover, Pulumi now permits the use of aliases with providers, facilitating easier stack and code refactoring without disrupting resources. Additionally, Pulumi Service links Azure Native resources directly to the Azure Portal, providing streamlined access for management.
